Should You Choose Irina or Priscilla for the Play in The Witcher 3?

Priscilla pays 10 crowns more than Irina, while both choices give 25 XP and lead to the same quest outcome.

Choose Priscilla if you want the larger documented payment: she earns 20 crowns, compared with Irina’s 10. Either choice awards 25 XP, and the casting decision does not change the quest’s outcome. Pick Irina instead if you prefer her performance or want to make that role-playing choice.

What changes when you choose Priscilla or Irina?

The actress choice affects the play’s performance and the crowns you receive, not whether the quest progresses. Gamer Guides and Witcher.tools list the same XP and crown rewards for both options.

Choice Quest reward What it means
Priscilla as the princess 20 crowns and 25 XP Earns 10 more crowns than choosing Irina.
Irina as the princess 10 crowns and 25 XP Earns less money, with no XP difference.

Gamer Guides’ walkthrough, updated in 2024, and Witcher.tools’ quest listing report these figures. Prima Games also notes that Priscilla earns additional money and describes the difference as otherwise performance-related.

Does the choice affect the quest or Dudu?

No. “The Play’s the Thing” is a main quest in Novigrad. Priscilla writes the play for Irina Renarde’s troupe to draw Dudu out of hiding. After the performance, Dudu reveals himself and agrees to help free Dandelion. The walkthrough says that choosing Priscilla or Irina does not change this outcome.

How to earn the other play rewards

The princess casting choice is only one part of the reward. The walkthrough also lists separate rewards for recruiting the Puffins, choosing Abelard as the prince, and getting the timed lines right. It reports up to 130 crowns with the relevant reward choices; that total is not earned just by selecting Priscilla.

Choose the correct timed lines

There are five timed dialogue choices during the performance. The guides identify these line openings as the correct choices:

  1. “To slay beasts most foul…”
  2. “Perhaps ‘midst the guests…”
  3. “Seems men’s hearts…”
  4. “But a base heart…”
  5. “No monster is he…”

Correct answers improve the performance reward; the actress choice does not substitute for them.
